Strap in, because Dee and Isla are back to finish their deep space exploration into the world’s most meme-able tech bro. Last week, we covered Elon's chaotic childhood, rise to billionaire status, and a trail of lawsuits and eyebrow-raising behaviour. This week, it’s time for Part 2 - and it’s even messier.

We get into:

  • The Amber Heard romance

  • The Thai cave rescue PR disaster that had Elon calling a diver 'pedo guy'

  • The Joe Rogan weed-smoking moment that wiped billions off Tesla’s value

  • Tesla’s racial discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits (plus a 'frat house' factory culture)

  • Union-busting tweets, $56 billion bonuses, and moving HQ to tax-friendly Texas

  • The ethically questionable Musk Foundation, which seems to benefit… Elon Musk

  • Neuralink’s animal testing controversy and terrifying 'merge your brain with AI' ambitions

  • His on/off saga with Grimes, the ever-growing Musk family tree, and a personal breeding program straight out of a dystopian novel

  • Buying Twitter, renaming it X, reinstating Trump and Kanye, and then banning journalists who criticised him

  • The bromance-turned-beef with Donald Trump (yes, including the Nazi salute)

  • How 2% of his wealth could solve world hunger - but didn’t

  • And of course… the private jets

It’s petty feuds, political flip-flops, and billionaire-level hypocrisy galore — with a side of Nazi salutes and bad rap songs.

Sources & Further Reading:

  • [Musk Foundation website – in all its minimalist glory]

  • UN World Food Programme Plan to End Hunger

  • Wired – Neuralink animal testing coverage

  • BBC, Guardian, and New York Times reporting on Tesla lawsuits and workplace culture

  • Reuters & Bloomberg coverage of the Twitter/X takeover

Various court filings, press releases, and Musk’s own tweets (archived)
